e. Overview of Project:
NZAS173000 Weapons Storage and Maintenance Facility (WSMF)
The A-E Services will include 100% Design Services for New Construction of P-5001 Weapons Storage and Maintenance Facility (WSMF), located on Malmstrom AFB, Montana. The plans and specifications prepared will be site adaptation of plans and specifications already prepared for another site except that any revisions to criteria and lessons learned will be incorporated in this new design.
The WSMF at Malmstrom AFB, Montana is a consolidated weapons storage and maintenance facility of approximately 8,450 SM (91,260SF) on a 42 acres site that provides training, security, maintenance, and storage functions within a single facility. The facility resulting from the services described in this Sources Sought will provide enhanced operations and security measures within a controlled perimeter. The facility will be a multi-level hardened structure with long span high and low bay areas. The structure must be designed to withstand interior and exterior blast loads. Functional areas include loading, training, warehousing, inspection, maintenance, administration, utility systems, and storage areas. As a hardened, secure, multifunction facility, a series of security features and controls will be incorporated into the design.
Site improvements include demolition, clearing, grading, drainage, new utilities, communications, roadways and parking. Site security improvements include a secure entry/exit access point, an animal control fence, sensored intrusion fence, and a perimeter control zone with a DoD rated barrier.
Services may also include field investigation, bidding services, Building Information Modeling, and Post Award Construction Support (PCAS). Duties will also include, but are not limited to, architectural programming, geotechnical investigation, surveying, cost estimating, and other pre-construction documentation. The project associated with this contract shall involve any combination of the following primary disciplines: Architectural, Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Fire Protection, Interior Designer, and Electrical Engineering; and the following key specialists: Structural Engineer with expertise in blast mitigation, LEED AP, Security Specialist, and Roofing Specialist.
NOTE: USACE requires all new general building construction projects to integrate high performance and sustainable building guidelines in accordance with applicable Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) requirements, as well as other command-specific energy efficiency standards.
The A-E may be required to conduct comprehensive asbestos and lead paint surveys and provide designs that will provide for the removal and disposal of these hazardous materials in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
The facility will be compatible with applicable UFC, DoD and Air Force (AF) design standards applicable to a weapons storage facility. The project will comply with DoD antiterrorism/force protection requirements per UFC. The facility will be designed and constructed to meet the requirements of UFC 1-200-02 High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements.
All design will meet requirements for essential facility system design certification. The design for the WSMF will need to incorporate additional requirements not normally found on standard MILCON projects. In addition to standard industry codes and UFC, the design will need to comply with the following:
a. Department of Defense S-5210.41-M, Nuclear Weapons Security Manual: DoD Nuclear Weapon Environment Specific Requirements, Volumes I, II, and III dated 13 Jul 2009.
b. Air Force Manual (AFM) 31-108, Nuclear Weapon Security Manual, Volumes 1-3 dated 1 Feb 2010 with Air Force Global Strike Command Supplement dated 23 Jan 2012.

The above list may not be all inclusive, and additional standards may be developed during the design process as required.
The design, shall be treated as Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information (UCNI) as described under section 148 of the Atomic Energy Act. UCNI is controlled information on a need to know basis and must be controlled and labeled accordingly. Design drawings cannot be transmitted via unencrypted email.
As per DFARS 236.204, the magnitude of the estimated cost of construction (ECC) range for this project is between $100,000,000.00 and $250,000,000.00.
